In 2000, Dud Slyjester began investigating the "Tomb of Pharoah Ramses the Cool" who many believe lived in Greece prior to the known history of the Greeks and was responsible for much of what we now know about Greek culture. Nobody has ever proved the stories to be true--but DS was on a mission. For 15 years he spent a fortune, ruined his marriage, and looked and looked for proof. In 2014, he found a tablet with strange markings on it. Nobody in the world had ever seen such markings and none could decipher what they meant. In 2015, after locking himself in a room and working harder than anyone who has ever lived, he translated the markings which apparently say "Cool Wuz Here." DS contracted with Time magazine to do an exclusive printing of his work including photos of the markings and his translation. A day before Time was due to publish, Eric Mimikus was able to obtain a copy of the photos and DS' translation--he put them on his website and now DS' has lost all economic value he had in the work. Assuming DS sues Mimikus for copyright infringement what is the most likely result?
